The worst experience of my life
The stay was the worst I have ever experienced The first room had Black mold around the Shower Tub, and on the Ceiling,I complained and was moved to another room. I want to take a shower after a long trip, I turned on the Faucet and Brown Rust came out of the faucet that put the nail on the coffin. I have pictures of evidence that the bedding was not cleaned and had not been changed We packed up and checked out. Although we had paid for 3 nights I didn’t care I wanted out of there. The two nights there was the worse Experience I had ever experienced I got no rest and very little sleep The room were very noisy you could hear the elevator running up and down. The worst experience of my life

Gross!! You get what you pay for.
The check in staff were kind and helpful. I had to move rooms due to a light switch being broke, and a track light wouldn’t shut off. 1st room WASN’T great. The next room was dirty, hair on the shower curtain, and on the sink, not sure what was on the ceiling and bathroom door jam, and behind the toilet-gross. The chair had multiple stains. No hot water to shower, super fast shower. I slept in my coat with my blanket cause the heat didn’t work. Told the front desk upon checkout, said they’d let maintenance and management know. You get what you pay for. I’ll be paying the extra $100 or whatever it is to stay elsewhere.

The room door had trouble closing and appeared to be damaged. I had to really slam the door to get it to shut. Hotel really needs an update, the smell and interior lobby looked very outdated. Room was comfortable and clean enough. Balcony provided a great view of downtown Boise.

The heat did not work in the rooms I stayed in. They moved me from one room because the heater did not work and the fan only blew cold air, but then the second room’s heating system did not work either.
